Our cooking class will make the authentic Greek Moussaka dish and Spanakopita pie by opening your phyllo pastry (Spinach pie). We will make two classic traditional pies: Spinach pie and Milk pie. In addition to making homemade pies, we will prepare Greek island-inspired salad with cherry tomatoes aromatized with aged local vinegar and Greek yogurt tzatziki sauce. Our kitchen is a few steps from Monastiraki square in the funky neighborhood of Psirri. I'll wait for you there, on the rooftop terrace with Acropolis views. We'll start preparations and chat to break the ice and talk about Greek and Mediterranean cuisine; then, I'll show you the ingredients we'll need. Then the cooking class can begin! When we are finished, we will cook, eat, and savor our food together with amazing views of the Acropolis monuments and Parthenon temple lit at night and the vivid center of Athens overlooking the dome of Aghios Dimitrios church. We don't have a gluten-free option. Vegetarians are welcome!

This cooking class with Stamatis and Fotis was fantastic!
This cooking class with Stamatis and Fotis was fantastic! Our traveling group does a cooking class every time we travel. The passion for cooking by Stamatis and Fotis was evident. We loved that they went into the cooking chemistry and gave up lots of cooking tips. The interactive cooking experience was both educational and fun! Then the final meal eaten on the rooftop restaurant was exemplary! We would highly recommend this class to fellow chefs and connoisseurs.

Authentic Greek Cooking Experience
What a great cooking experience! Stam was an excellent teacher, with a great sense of humor. We will 100% be making these recipes when we get home.

Highlight of out trip to Athens
This was well worth the trip in fact it was the highlight of our trip. We made 5 delicious dishes and then got to enjoy them with wine pairings overlooking the Parthenon. The chef was so knowledgeable and we learned things we wouldn't otherwise have known and were given all the recipes. Im planning on making these for my family when I get home to recreate the experience for them. So much fun doing this with other travellers from all over. Just a perfect evening.

Fun, enjoyable night with Spyros
This was a great way to spend our last night in Athens. We did our cooking in a very nice lower area with plenty of space for a group cooking class. Spyros was friendly, funny and made you feel right at home. He truly did get everyone involved in the cooking. We made a delicious spread of greek cuisine from appetizers to dessert. We then enjoyed our hand prepared meal on the rooftop patio with a view of the Acropolis. This is a restaurant location, so you are dining with others, but we had our group had our own table. There is an option of adding wine pairing to each course for 22 euros per person. We were also provided with all the recipes from the class. Thank you to Spyros for a fun and informative night!

Greek Cooking Class in Athens Including Rooftop Dinner with Acropolis View: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Greek Cooking Class in Athens Including Rooftop Dinner with Acropolis View cost?
+
Prices start at $114 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Greek Cooking Class in Athens Including Rooftop Dinner with Acropolis View take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Greek Cooking Class in Athens Including Rooftop Dinner with Acropolis View worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,136 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Greek Cooking Class in Athens Including Rooftop Dinner with Acropolis View?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Greek Cooking Class in Athens Including Rooftop Dinner with Acropolis View suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Greek Cooking Class in Athens Including Rooftop Dinner with Acropolis View?
+
Around 398 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Greek Cooking Class in Athens Including Rooftop Dinner with Acropolis View start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
